Midsize Jet
More Cabin. Transcontinental Range. No Compromises.
The midsize category is where stand-up cabin access begins and coast-to-coast range becomes possible without a fuel stop. These aircraft seat up to eight passengers, offer meaningful luggage capacity, and handle long-range routing comfortably.
For business travel, the midsize cabin provides what matters: space to work, seating that converts for rest on longer legs, and a quieter, more productive environment than the light jet class allows. Pull-out tables, dedicated work surfaces, and club seating are standard across the category.
Midsize jets also access a broader airport network than heavy or ultra-long-range aircraft, which is relevant when your destination is a secondary market or a resort airfield with runway limitations.
Every midsize jet in the Elevate network is verified under the Elevate Assurance Pledge before booking confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions
A midsize jet is a twin-engine business jet that sits between light and super midsize categories in cabin size, range, and capability. Midsize jets typically offer stand-up cabin height, seating for six to eight passengers, and a longer range. They are the most common choice for business groups requiring both comfort and range on domestic and near-international routes.
Midsize jets in the Elevate fleet have a nonstop range of 1,786 to 2,620 nautical miles. This covers coast-to-coast US routing nonstop on most aircraft in the category, as well as US to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean without a fuel stop.
Super midsize jets offer a larger cabin, significantly greater range (up to 4,000+ nautical miles), and higher cruise speeds. The cabin cross-section is wider, and most super midsize aircraft include dedicated work zones, more luggage space, and full stand-up height throughout. Midsize jets are less expensive to charter and access more airports. For transatlantic routing or groups requiring a more spacious cabin, super midsize is the next step.
Most midsize jets in the Elevate fleet offer stand-up or near-stand-up cabin height. The Citation Latitude, Hawker 800XP, and Hawker 900 all provide full stand-up height. Confirm specific cabin dimensions for your aircraft at the time of booking.
Luggage capacity in the midsize category ranges from 49 to 90 cubic feet depending on the aircraft. This typically accommodates two to three checked-bag-equivalent pieces per passenger for a group of four to six. For larger groups or extended trips, discuss baggage requirements when booking.
Yes. Midsize jets are well-suited for US-to-Caribbean, US-to-Canada, and US-to-Mexico routing. Transatlantic range is not standard in this category. For international European or long-haul routing, a super midsize or heavy jet is more appropriate.
The Citation Latitude and Hawker 900 are among the longest-range midsize jets in the Elevate fleet. Ruby identifies the best available aircraft for your specific route based on range, positioning, and current market pricing.
